Abstract excerpt
It is well established that elevated plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles are a risk factor for ischaemic heart disease with the distribution in LDL levels seen in the general population being the result of interaction between environmental factors, such as dietary fat intake, and genetic variation that is present in different individuals. One of the candidate genes where such variation is...
